Daniel Li,
I am writing to you to thank you very much for our wonderful trip to Xian. The tour that you organised was fantastic. Sorry for the delay in feedback. I thank you for all your prompt and quick replies to our needs and desires for the tour that we took on Feb 10, 2008. You are very professional and provided what we had requested. I enjoyed my tour of Xian - from start to finish. It was most comforting to have my tour guide meet me at the airport. Your tour guide - Ms Mary Ma is exceptional in both her English and her knowledge of her subject. She is to be congratulated.
I have no hesitation in recommending your company to other travellers.
Thank you once again.
Kind regards
Janet Hawke

Xian Temple of Flourishing Teaching
Situated at the foot of Shaoling Plateau and 20 km south of Xi’an City, the Temple of Flourishing Teaching is one of the most important Chinese Buddhist temples. It is the burial place of Xuanzang. Xuanzang, the well-known pilgrim in the Chinese history, spent 15 years traveling to India and brought Buddhist scriptures back to China. In 664 Xuanzang passed away and after he was buried in a pagoda in 669, the Temple of Flourishing Teaching was built on the site. In order to encourage the development of the Buddhism, Emperor Tang Suzong (Li Heng, 711-762) wrote two characters “Xin Jiao (Flouring Teaching)”in the stupa, then the Temple of Flourishing Teaching won its name.
Walking into the entrance, in the middle the sculpture of Sakyamuni with a height of 3.2 meters will catch your eye first. The Lying Buddha, 9 meters long, was carved by camphor wood. The temple is consisted of three courtyards, the Front courtyard, the East courtyard and the West courtyard. The Mountain Gate, the Bell and Drum Bell Devajara Hall (Daxiong-Baodian) and Preach Hall stand densely in the Front Courtyard. The Buddhism scriptures are stored in the East Courtyard. Xuanzang Pagoda is situated in the West Courtyard. The five-story brick pagoda is about 21 meters (68.9 ft) high enshrining the sculpture of Xuanzang on the first floor.
If you are a Buddhist followers or adore Xuanzang, Temple of Flourishing Teaching will be a must visited destination
Open Time: 8:00 am-17:00 pm
